What it does

On reveal: If played in round 5 or later, +3 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 6 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Media cards broadcast Power to your other lanes.

The site, in 1997

An online computer hardware magazine with exhaustive reviews and benchmarks, founded in April 1997 by 14-year-old Anand Lal Shimpi.

Shimpi edited it until August 2014, when Ryan Smith took over. Purch bought it that December. It stopped publishing on 30 August 2024, and by August 2025 most pages sent readers to its forums.

Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
